Lady Windermere

Robert always gives everybody the benefit of the doubt.

- Why should I believe you? - Don't believe me, believe him.

Modern marriage thrives on mutual deception.

Every man is born truthful and every man dies a liar.

- Can I get you a drink? - No, thank you. I don't drink.

Well, it doesn't leave much to the imagination, does it?

I can tell you. He's very conservative.

So, yes, I take your point.

- Now you've made her blush. - Don't be silly.

You manage.

It's my wedding ring, I never take it off.

It takes practice and skill to live without regret.

Don't you think you've had enough?

Oh, I know Robert. We've been married over a year.

My feet are in perfect proportion to the rest of me.

Here it is, signora.

I'm sorry, I just don't like gossip.

No, I'm sure your wife is on the mark.

Celibacy has no pleasures.

I want your word.

By my Aunt Julia. My father's sister.

- you're not really. - There is no good or bad.

- Why do you insist on defending her? - I'm not defending her.

All of which is time well spent in my book.

If I've been the latter, I sincerely apologize.
